Post-Game Talk: AL Wild Card - SAWX WIN - YANKEES ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!

[Dennis Bonvie]

2004 won 4 straight
2018 won 4-1
2021 1-0

1-9 actually, not 1-8

So, by "since 2004" you mean including 2004, but not the first 3 games of the 2004 series. Nice.

And 2018 was a 5 game series, so 3-1.

 

[DKH]

Maybe they meant National Parks.

Agree

Yanks are in deep shit

I probably would be hard pressed to turn around quick

1. I let Brett Gardner go
2. Sign Story & leave Torres at 2B
3. I’m stuck with 5 more years of LeMahieu at 15 M so I play him at first
4. Try and find a cheap CF like Kike Hernandez- not sure who’s available
5. Judge is a UFA after 2023 I wait it out

pitching is decent

Their Farm System is middle of pack after trading 6 of top 30 for renting Rizzo & Gallo

they could be 4th next season

They need a new manager first and foremost. Boone sucks.

ok back to 1-8, they won 4 straight in 04, won 3-1 in 18 and 1 yesterday

very un-yankee like, since going down 3-0 the sox are 8-1 vs NY in playoff games

 

[DKH]

Ok but I was told on Twitter on Friday with Yankees with 2 game lead Yankees a LOT better

Felger in full troll mode spent entire week saying If he was a Red Sox fan he couldn’t sleep at night by blowing 10 game lead in August to Ysnkees

wouldn’t blowing a 2 game lead with 3 games left be worse

 

[DKH]

Felger laughs at how dumb/gullible his listeners are - 90% are to dumb to know it

they got one good guy there - Ty Anderson. The rest are crap

 

[DKH]

WEEI went to ridicule war with the Bruins and it eventually cost them when SportsHub came along and welcomed Bruins fans

The Sports Hub is taking on a bigger animal in the Red Sox and it’s going to eventually put a dent in them unless they secure their broadcast rights which would be a prudent move

Felger & Masserotti are both bright guys and can bob and weave but no talents like Marc Bertrand & lazy Adam Jones is occupied with other interests aren’t capable or concerned about seeing what’s coming

WEEI thought they were invincible back in 2006 but it’s been proven they aren’t

 

[BMC]

When you're from Connecticut, Yankees hate has no rival.

In my case I hate the Habs & Skanks equally!

With no Cap and the will to overpay, holes are a lot easier to fill.

Their pitching is better than decent.

That was the best they could come up with?

With the way the luxury tax works now, it's basically a cap. Yankees were cutting salary before the season this year just to stay under, despite it being a "go for it" year for them.

 

[DKH]

I know humor is my third characteristic but it was brilliant

one of greatest headlines I’ve ever seen but you have to have been emotionally involved in the 1978 game

It’s such a good headline it’s something I could see myself coming up with

Felger prediction today

His troll this week is the disparity of payrolls between Sox & Tampa and ‘you should win, you have a $200 M payroll and Tampa 50 M’

and

when Sale making $30 M goes against one of the kids making minimum he will mention that over and over

Felger is phenomenal at this and this is a gift for him to bash away at his predominantly clueless audience

also the lemmings here who like the Sports Troll station need to understand the he Red Sox do well the Hub lose some listeners to Sox games on radio

they have an agenda / and if sports hub had the Sox rights they would be promoting this team and Lazy Ass Jones wouldn’t be telling people to boycott he would be doing the pregame show

 

[TD Charlie]

Haven't really been a baseball fan since 2004ish, but I still remember what it's like to beat the Yankees. I checked in every now and again last night from bed. Very happy for all my friends who live and die with the Sox.

I can tolerate Felger...usually.

I gave up listening to Jones almost as soon as he got the PM hosting job. Insufferable, antagonistic, miserable, pompous, I could go on all day. Maybe he's changed since his first year on the job. I doubt it.

Radio is a dying industry unfortunately. I don't see the Sports Hub being in trouble. If anything, you will see Gasper and Murray become its own thing to replace Jones or Zo and Beetle.

 

[EverettMike]

Surprised they said that’s only a Homer in 11 of 32 parks

Word is Cashman in trouble - not surprised after gutting their farm system for 2 rentals

As some of us said at the time, that was really really stupid for a team that was obviously so flawed.

I know you said this but I read all over social media & heard Felger & Mazz and their flock hail the proactive 2009 WS champs while killing Bloom for doing nothing - they didn’t even acknowledge Schwarber

 

[McGarnagle]

Can't wait until 2 PM EST to see if Felger eats his words or just keeps trolling.

When do they give Cashman his "Won the 2021 Trade Deadline" Championship ring? Opening Day?

 

[DKH]

I don’t see him eating much words he will downplay it by shifting focus to Cole or Yankees and then start with payrolls

he may even envoke fear by pushing’your GM is a Tampa guy and the $50 M payroll and this type of baseball - lot of Dombrowski guys’

It will be interesting how he goes but because WEEI is the Red Sox station and Lou Merloni is calling them out it will all be a charade

if Sports Hub had rights they would be be significantly more positive

 

[DKH]

He probably gone

1 WS in 22 years and spent over 3 B

imagine Theo getting that job

 

[Mione134]

Plawdog's walk up song is an anthem!

"No, I don't think I will."

I sound like a wounded animal today. I have not strained my vocal chords this bad in a long time. It was so worth it.
